Splish Splash - it’s a Tiki Beach Bash!Premium
members - this one is just for you, so be sure to save the date! We’ve
lit the tiki torches and brushed up on our fruity drink-mixing skills to
host a casual gathering with the added bonus of early access to our
Official Second Life 12th Birthday commemorative avatar.

That’s right - come to the SL12B Premium Meetup on Thursday June 11th from 10:30 to 11:30 AM SLT,
hang out with us, and be one of the first to glimpse and grab the
celebratory 12th anniversary avatar. The nature of this particular
avatar required us to select a remote island for our gathering as well
as implement a strict quarantine on the subject, so you’re going to have
to drop by our tropical jungle destination to find out what it is.

Linden Lab stated the avatar kiosk will remain up for Premium members to get the avatar from until Midnight SL time on Friday June 12, "even if you can’t come to the Tiki party, you can still get early access to the avatar." They also stated, "here will be more fun for all members to enjoy throughout the month."

It was just a few days ago in which the Lab announced an increase in the number of groups residents can join for Premium accounts only. It seems they're picking up the pace in which they offer perks for Premiums.
